Only getting audio?

Today I shot a couple of 720p30p clips from my HVX200, using DV Rack 2.0 HD. It all went well, I ejected the clips, put them in premiere, fiddled with them, they looked beautiful, blah blah blah.
The issue is, I don't want to do all my editing on this little laptop. So I transferred all of the ejected clips to an external hard drive, brought that to my desktop, transferred all the files onto my Desktop's internal drive, tried to watch one: Oh no! Only audio!! I tried importing the clips into premiere there too, and I still only got audio. No video to speak of.
In premiere on the laptop, for clip data in the project window, it said: 960x720 (1.333) 29.97 fps.
In premiere on the desktop, for clip data in the project window, it says: 1280x720 (1.0) 29.97 fps.
That's not right.
Both are using PPro2.0.
The only difference really, is that the laptop has DVrack on it. But that shouldn't matter, should it? Is there some weird hidden codec it installed or something? Come to think of it, this is actually the first time I've ever worked with DVCProHD footage on my desktop... that might be it. If it is, does anyone know where I can get the codec for Premiere to work with it? I can't just install DV rack on there, too...

You need the DVC Pro codec...and Serious Magic's is the only one. There was a stand alone version at one point...but I haven't seen it listed as being available anymore...

Apparently, the codec for DVC ProHD is only with DV Rack.
Adobe usually allows two software activations...but I'm not sure how they're handling legacy Serious Magic software unfortunately...
I suppose you could give installing it on your desktop machine and see if it registers... The risk would be that it might knock out the existing registration if it thinks it's a rogue or stolen copy...then your other machine probably won't be able to start up if it gets a whiff of a wireless web connection and gets the word frm the license server that the serial is under suspicion...
I have no idea how one goes about getting that cleared up during the transition period we have here...
